"First of all, it was midsummer when the accident occurred, and it was not a dry time. How could there be such a fire for no reason?"
Xiao Mu said.
"I remember that the fire was very strong. I was in the house and heard a boy shouting that there was no water in the water tank.
It is normal for servants to make omissions, but it had just rained heavily two days before that. How could there be no water in the tank? Now that I think about it, someone must have done it on purpose. "
The prince pondered and nodded without any trace.
He also checked the two things Xiao Mu mentioned back then, and also asked people to check the details of the servants in the West Courtyard.
But after searching again and again, I still have no clue.
Those servants were also of clean origin, and no one was found to have any problems.
They are all ordinary servants, who would harm a child for no reason.
"I noticed the situation you mentioned at the time, but after investigating, I found that it was really just an accident."
"Maybe!"
The strange thing is that Xiao Mu did not insist, but easily accepted the prince's point of view.
"It's been so long since it happened, and it's futile to pursue it again. It's better to just treat it as an accident. Anyway, I'm fine, and I've been living well these past few years."
"Yes, yes!" everyone said quickly.
As long as Xiao Mu lets go of this matter in his heart, all the grudges and grudges from back then will be wiped out.
But Xiao Mu obviously didn't want everyone to eat this meal steadily.
He continued: "I just don't know who in this family still cares about the little bit of property my grandfather left me. Who took the things from Lingyuan Pavilion?"
What?
All the brothers stopped what they were doing.
Lao Wu still had half of the fish head in his mouth and forgot to spit it out.
The things in Lingyuan Pavilion were left to Xiao Mu by their grandfather.
Although they were all jealous at the time, since it was not property belonging to the palace, they could only stare and have no choice but to do anything.
According to Xiao Mu, some of their brothers actually took action on that property?
That is a huge fortune!
With Lingyuan Pavilion, who can think highly of these three people in the palace?
Thinking of this problem, the third and fifth children all turned their attention to the eldest brother.
Jamel Xiao originally had a surprised expression, but when he saw everyone looking at him, his expression immediately changed: "What are you all looking at me for? It wasn't me."
Lao San looked at Lao Wu and said, "Brother, if someone does this, it must be you. Neither Lao Wu nor I have that ability."
"What should I do? He said someone touched the things in Lingyuan Pavilion, so someone else did it? How many years have passed since the second son left the capital.
Who knows what happened during this period?
Besides, no one has been found, so why should we say it was our brothers who did it! "
yes!
The third child thought.
This Xiao Mu is really thoughtful. He keeps going around for the sake of the palace's properties.
If someone really touched the things in Lingyuan Pavilion, my father would take action against the three of them.
In the end, even if he couldn't find it, in order to compensate Xiao Mu, he would give him more of the things at home.
This is too much!
The third child felt that he was really smart now and had analyzed Xiao Mu's little thoughts thoroughly.
So he touched Lao Wu's arm and whispered: "Don't be led astray by him. He owns Lingyuan Pavilion and wants to come back and steal our things!"
Lao Wu didn’t want to do anything after hearing this!
"Xiao Mu, don't slander me. You said we touched things in Lingyuan Pavilion. Do you have any evidence?"
This was what Xiao Mu was waiting for.
He said calmly: "Of course I have the evidence, but I can't say anything yet."
"Don't be pretentious. If you really had evidence, you would have complained to your father by now. Why would you have such a hazy discussion with us here?" said the third child.
Xiao Mu looked calm: "I won't say it, of course I have my reasons.
Now I can only tell you that although the man took away the things in the warehouse, the person who was guarding the warehouse was still there at the time, and he had already confessed to me what happened that day.
However, because he didn’t know the other person’s identity, he couldn’t tell me his name.
But he said that as long as he saw someone, he would recognize them immediately. "
"Hiss~" Lao San and Lao Wu looked at each other, and saw a little interest and curiosity in each other's eyes.
The two of them turned their attention to Xiao Jamrong at the same time.
When Xiao Mu said those words, Xiao Jinrong's expression froze unnaturally.
But he quickly recovered.
So when the second and third children looked over, they saw the eldest brother's very indifferent face.
"Since there are witnesses, why should my second brother waste time with us? Just ask your servant to come out and identify him."
Jamel Xiao raised the wine glass in his hand
Xiao Mu smiled: "Brother is right! I was also thinking about making arrangements quickly."
The prince remained silent, just listening to the exchanges between their brothers. Fortunately, he didn't say anything in the end.
His heart dropped to his stomach for the time being.
But if what Xiao Mu said is true——
The prince suddenly felt uncertain.
He looked at the boss Xiao Jinrong without leaving any trace. Could it be that he really did it?
…
After dinner, the prince left Xiao Mu to drink tea in the mansion, and advised him to stay overnight in the mansion if it was too late.
Xiao Mu refused without thinking.
"My wife is still waiting. She won't sleep until I go back."
Several people present were impressed by his show.
The prince and his other sons all had more than one wife and concubines, but none of them were as clingy as him.
Xiao Jamrong suddenly felt that he had been too nervous just now.
Can someone like Xiao Mu, who has not studied for a few days, has no real skills, no ambition, and only thinks about the pleasure of the boudoir, really achieve anything?
From this point of view, if he doesn't mess with me, it's not impossible to let him stay in the capital.
But if he was restless, he couldn't blame himself for being rude.
